In spring, the grassland changes flowering seasons about every twenty days, and wild flowers are always luxuriant. After Lei Jin and the others returned from the holy lake, after a short rest, the orcs began to be busy with planting and hunting for the new year. Lei Jin and Luo Jie took over Ivy's grocery store, asked people to take a rest, reopened it, and added some self-made things on the basis of the original items, soap, tofu, sauces, wind chimes, whale oil, and more The bath powder made by Muya, as well as the baby carriages and flatbed carts made by Jiahe are sold, and various snacks and candies are placed on the window sills, attracting a group of children to come and go, and the popularity is very strong.
This year's Leopard Fair was very lively, Leping brought his two sons, Qinghe's family, and Jingyue's family also came. I heard that Lei Jin and the others held a ceremony and gave a bunch of gifts. Now that the house is bigger, these people can come in, and everyone is very lively.
"This house is really bright." Everyone else went to the market. Haochen was tired from the long journey and rested at home for the past two days. Lei Jin offered to stay with him.
"Ah, if you like it, you can come here often. You see, I have a lot of rooms here." Lei Jin made him a cup of lotus root starch.
"That's for sure, this is my son's house." Haochen smiled gratifiedly while hugging the apple.
"Ah, give me the apple, this child is too heavy." With the efforts of the whole family, Apple's weight has finally stabilized and will not increase too fast, but his appetite is so good that he will think about it for a while. It is not easy to reduce.
"It's okay, I just like big apples. This is the first time I've seen them. They're really cute. I heard you had a baby last fall, and I've always wanted to come and have a look." Hao Chen patted the sleeping apple The lotus root powder was not so hot, so I picked it up and took a few sips: "It's delicious, is this the lotus root grown in the yard?"
"Yeah, ah, if you like to drink, bring some back when you leave. There are seeds at home, so you can go back and dig a pond like this to plant." Lei Jin moved a chair and sat down beside him. "It's not necessary, the tiger tribe is no better than the leopard tribe, and there are fewer mountains and rivers." Haochen smiled and shook his head and refused.
"Then send a message when you want to eat, and I'll send it to you."
Haochen has always known that Xi Ya and the others love Lei Jin, but he is still a little worried that Lei Jin is too tired to have three orc companions. Now that they get along so well, he finally feels relieved. He sees Mai Dong and Putao playing on the swing by the pond. Asked: "Is there any movement in my stomach when I go to the holy lake this time?"
Lei Jin said with a smile: "Including the way back, it has been more than two months, and I feel nothing." He has four children now, and he doesn't want to have another child at all.
Haochen changed his posture holding the apple, and said, "You are different from others. They all went to the holy lake and came back to get pregnant. You are fine, but you are fine. But you are still young, so don't worry about it."
"Ah, I already have four." Lei Jin reminded him of the reality.
Hao Chen scolded: "The more children the better, how can anyone think too many?"
"I don't like it too much. I am the one who suffers." Lei Jin silently added something in his heart. He knew that Haochen couldn't listen to him, so he simply shut up and listened to him. Although the topic was not quite right, but He likes the feeling of being cared for by his loved ones.
Qinghe and Leping left after the tribal fair, Haochen and the others waited until the beginning of summer before returning to the Tiger tribe.
Apple will be one year old in two months. Other orc babies of the same age can run and jump, and they can speak fluently, but Apple can only roll over, and can only speak a few words, eat, sleep, Dad, father, brother, grandpa, grandpa, Lei Jin can count the words he can say with two hands.
When the weather is hot, grapes, grapefruits and oranges are greedy for coolness, and they all like to sleep under the lotus leaves. Every year, a few strange lotus leaves will grow in the pond, floating flat on the water surface, and the surroundings are slightly raised. They are extremely huge, with a diameter of one meter. It is very heavy, and it is especially able to bear the weight. Lei Jin, a big man, can stand on it without any problem.
Seeing the grapes, they swam over one after another. Apple's eyes were full of envy, and he waved his paw anxiously, calling softly: "Brother, brother..."
Yuzu took the lead in climbing the stems below to sit on the lotus leaf, waved his hands and said, "No, no, we can't take you with you." Usually, when they go out to play, they can drag you along, but when they get into the water, they Don't dare to try it lightly, Dad's slap is not polite at all.
"Apple wants to go there too?" Lei Jin took a cold shower in the room and came out with only his pants on.
"Dad..." Apple spread out its little paws happily.
A cunning light flashed in Lei Jin's eyes, he was happy to fulfill his wish, picked him up and put him on the lotus leaf.
The apple rolled over habitually, and tragedy happened.
"Plop..."
"Dad, my brother fell." Cheng Zi exclaimed, seeing his father jumping down.
"Father, my brother is in the water." Putao saw that Lei Jin stopped there and did not catch anyone.
"It's okay." Lei Jin was not in a hurry, until he saw the apple started to flap its claws, then he easily lifted him up and put it on the lotus leaf as usual.
Apple coughed up a few sips of water, and just recovered, Lei Jin stood in the water, kicked the leaf handle, and the lotus leaf tilted instantly, so the unfortunate apple fell down again, and when the person was about to flop, Lei Jin fished him out again , and then threw it down. After ten days of tossing like this, before Apple learned to walk, it miraculously learned to swim first, and the speed was not slow. Later, when Lei Jin kicked it down, Apple would wave its little paws and fight hard. He swam desperately to the shore, because he knew that if his father caught him, he would be thrown again. Xi Ya and the others felt sorry for the child, but there was nothing they could do with Lei Jin. Besides, they also knew in their hearts that Apple needs to be forced So, if they don't want to do it, there will always be someone who will be cruel.
As long as people are willing to move, they have learned how to swim. Is it still far away to walk? Food temptation and violence. Poor Big Apple was finally forced by Lei Jin to learn to walk when his first birthday was approaching.
In this regard, Lei Jin was very proud of himself. Apple can walk, which solved a big concern of his.
If Roger and Amber can reconcile, everyone in the family will be happy.
"What are you thinking about? So preoccupied?" Xi Ya took a shower, stepped onto the bed, lifted the quilt and came in.
Lei Jin patted his restless hands away, pulled the pillow behind him, stretched his legs, leaned against the wall, and asked, "What do you think happened to Roger and Anbu?"
The pillow was taken away, Xi Ya moved her body, changed the place, and pillowed on his lap, "Why did you think of this question?" Ah Mo has been uncompromising, and the family members are in a hurry, no one can do anything about it, this kind of thing can't be forced Bar.
Lei Jin flattened his legs to make him lie more comfortably, and replied: "I see them two in the shop every day, and I feel awkward for them." Obviously the two still have feelings for each other, and Anbu is also single now. In this case, why can't we get together again.
Xi Ya frowned, and recalled: "I still remember a little bit of things when I was young. I remember that Ah Mo and Uncle Anbu were very happy together, but they separated for some reason. Uncle Anbu and Uncle Zhu Xi held a wedding ceremony. Ceremony, on the day Mo Ya was born, I still went to see Uncle Anbu, he came and hugged Ah Mo and kept crying, then Mo Ya was born, and then Uncle Anbu rarely came to the house, that’s all I know.”
Lei Jin muttered: "It's quite strange, Mo Ya was not born to the two of them, why did they separate after having a child?"
"What do you want to do?" Xi Ya looked up at him and asked softly. He saw that Lei Jin was suffocated these days and wanted to get involved in everything.
"Do you think there is a way to get them back together? Would your daddy mind?"
Xi Ya took his hand and clasped his fingers, "Speaking of my father and An Luo's father, they like Ah Mo very much, and if Ah Mo likes it, they will agree, and Father and the others did not object back then. "The conversation changed, and Xi Ya continued: "However, don't use the rough method of dealing with Apple. In case of a stalemate, there is no room for maneuver. Now Ah Mo and Uncle Anbu can sit at the same table to eat , It’s already a big improvement.” In the place where Uncle Anbu was in the past, Ah Mo would definitely not wear it too much.
Lei Jin patted his head with the other hand, and boasted: "I do things properly, don't worry."
Xi Ya looked at Apple, who was sleeping on the small bed next to her, which was a whole size smaller, and thought to herself that it was strange to be relieved. He got up and covered the beads in the house with animal skins, dragged Lei Jin to lie down, turned over and pressed on him, bit his chin, and said: "We will talk about this matter after Mo Ya and the others come back from hunting, and sleep with me now." .”
"Easy..."
"Well, I know..."
Today is the full moon, the bright white moonlight shines in, the night is sultry, and the breathing of the two people on the bed is getting heavier.
Someone came to buy tofu, Roger went to greet him, Lei Jin pulled Anbu and whispered a bad idea: "Otherwise, you can just buy it, I think Roger's awkward temper, you have to consume it."
Anbu showed a gentle smile, pushed him away with his shoulders, and said, "Don't be naughty." He still remembered the lessons of that year, and he has survived all these years. enough.
"I'm not your son." Don't be like his child.
"But you are my son's partner." Ambu pointed out the fact with a smile.
Luo Jie handed out a piece of tofu, and the man gave a pheasant. Seeing Lei Jin and An Bu, he smiled and said, "Lei Jin and the patriarch get along really well."
Recently, I often see the two of them whispering together, wondering what they are discussing secretly, and he is... not interested in knowing.
Half a month later, Mo Ya and the others came back safely from hunting, and another happy event was that Chun Ji said that Anbu's injuries had basically healed, and Lei Jin proposed to celebrate. Xi Ya and the others cooked cold dishes, hot dishes, vegetarian dishes, A large table was set up for meat dishes. The house closed early, and the dining table was placed by the pond. This season, the lotus blossoms are in full bloom, and the fragrance is bursting.
"Today is really a rare reunion. We should drink some wine." Ansen looked at the people at the big table and felt emotional. The brothers and partners were all there, and the three children had grown up and had their own partners and children.
Lei Jin had been prepared for a long time. Hearing this, he bent down and picked up the wine jar that was under the table.
The others also nodded in agreement, Lei Jin helped to pour it, and Roger frowned when he smelled it: "It's not fruit wine, but white wine?"
"Fruit wine is tasteless. Since I drink alcohol, of course I have to drink this. I finally bought it from Ivy." Aiwei is Lei Jin's winery. They were swapped out all over the place.
The children drank honey water, and only grapes sat on Mingya's lap. Grapefruits, oranges, and apples were all in the shape of animals. There were special dishes in the kitchen, so it was more comfortable for them to lie down on the ground to eat.
The whole family was talking and laughing, and there was no time limit. When the dinner was over, it was already full moon. Roger drank the most, and the whole person was lying on the table and almost fell asleep.
An Sen and Xi Ya were clearing the table, Lei Jin took the children to take a bath and go to bed, Anbu pushed Roger, and said, "Roger, go back to sleep, don't catch a cold."
Roger propped his forehead with one hand, barely opened his eyes, saw the person in front of him clearly, and called out in a daze, "Bu?"
Hearing this long-lost address, Anbu was shocked, and his whole body froze there. At the same time, Ansen stopped. He stopped holding the plate, looked at An Luo, and smiled at Anbu: "Roger is drunk, stay here tonight, don't bother, you take him back to the house."
"Brother Anson."
"Brother Anbu, Mo Ya has grown up." After so many years, there should be a result.
Anbu nodded, and hugged Roger horizontally.
